WHOA!!! WTF!
The title of this thread starts with "Tired of Covid-19 . . . " So why did it morph into a discussion of covid-19.
Come on folks, staying on topic is alway desirable in on-line communities, and in moderated forums, off-topic posts are subject to deletion and persistent off-topic posting could lead to expulsion. P123 is not moderated so those issues don’t exist here. But as matter of basic etiquette, I think it’s fair to ask people to stop talking about covid-19 in this thread. There are others in which you can do it, and/or you can start new threads.
But as investors, there’s a more challenging issue. If you can’t keep a focus on something, what hope do you have to invest successfully in a market dominated by highly sophisticated folks who have massive technological resources and never lose focus for even a nano-second! The whole point of p123’s being able to empower you to invest against such a crowd is the way its tools can help you turn off the noise and focus on objective evidence; i.e. data. The human brain should never be turned off, but instead of allowing it to wander at whim, successful p123 investors control where it goes and doesn’t go.
As to one thing I’m doing right now to while away the social distancing is creating simple screens, so simple I don’t even need to save them, to see which stocks/ETFs are holding up through the crash (relatively speaking of course) and which rate well under ranking systems I like and use. I get the tickers into a watch list and then start going through stock/etf by stock/etf to see why its holding up and assess whether I think there’s something there for beyond the current mess. That’s how I’m combining my judgment and data-evidence to look ahead, and in so doing, possibly pick up cues as to how near- or not-near term I should be thinking.
You don’t have to do what I’m doing. Do your thing. But whatever your thing is, PLEASE GET THE COVID-19 DISCUSSIONS OUT OF THIS THREAD SO THOSE WHO WANT TO STAY ON TOPIC CAN DO SO WITHOUT HAVING RELEVANT POSTS SWAPED. Please ask Marco to delete your off-topic posts, or at least edit them down to an -x- so they can easily be skipped by those of us who care about the topic (actually, do that even before asking Marco to delete since it’ll save him time having to hunt down deletable posts; he’s go enough else on his plate.
